Most writers have a clear picture of who their hero(s) and heroine(s) are, but portraying their true emotional depth may take us a few drafts. In this workshop, we’ll explore how to maximize the emotional punch of early drafts and thereby write our way to the final product quicker. We'll learn tips for understanding the characters’ arcs earlier in the writing process, but still leave openings for surprises along the way. Handouts and practical exercises will teach you how to increase your productivity by spending a short bit of extra time to get to know your characters before you set them on their adventure. Whether you are a pantser, plotter, or a plantser, this workshop will give you the tools to get to your final draft quicker.
